Lavish Buffets

Casino buffets are well known all around the world for being ultra simple to very lavish. Super size spreads offer a wide range of choices even the most stringent eater would be satisfied.

Buffets were originally designed as a low-cost way to keep players within the building as compared to having long meal breaks wherein the players may just opt not to come back afterwards.

Many people still consider casino buffets as a popular meal choice. The standard all-you-can-eat buffets price ranges from $12-$45 and serve foods that range from the standard sandwich/salad bar to exotic meals like lobsters to triple deck black forest cakes. The higher the buffet price, the more varied the menu will be.

A trick which casinos now use is to entice even non-gamblers to partake of the buffet without even playing any game. Casino owners hope that once people enter the casino to eat in the buffet, they might just try a game or two and get hooked. Many casinos have an all-you-can-eat all day buffet with special variants or dishes rotating within the day.

Restaurants

Most casinos have sit-down restaurants inside the area, ranging from the standard coffee shops to a very formal dining hall. Casinos in Atlantic City offer patrons the chance to dine on board a riverboat casino or offer a river view while eating.

Some casinos have gone the extra mile by offering free massage services to playing patrons in need to relax tired shoulder and back areas of the gamer.

Favorite Cuisines

Italian cuisine and grilled food are the top sellers within any casino restaurant. Many casinos offer a variety such as Chinese and Mexican but pasta always seems to be the gamblers choice. From time to time the casino may offer a specific festival of food from a certain country to help pull in gamblers and non-gambles into the area.

Delis also score big with gamblers who would just like to grab a quick bite and resume playing.. The most commonly ordered sandwiches are BLT, Ham and Cheese, Tuna, and the favorite ClubHouse sandwich.

More than one type of bar can be found along the inner walkways of the casino. There ar the classy bars that requires a dress code and casual ones that can quickly hand over a beer as quickly as one can drink them.

Food is never far away or closer to all gamblers in a casino. One simply has to decide from the vast array of food presented that would catch the players fancy.

They are as likely to be played for drinks as for pennies.

The same is true of darts and ten-pin bowling in those regions where it is played.The casino games – roulette, chemin de fer, and the like – are played for very high stakes on occasions, but the players are almost entirely confined to the British equivalent of cafe society.Before currency restrictions were imposed in 1939, they gambled in a similar way in the European casinos.

From the end of the war until the passing of the Betting Act, there was widespread evasion of the anti-gambling laws in this small section of British society, with ‘floating’ chemin de fer games analogous to the ‘floating’ crap games as described by Damon Runyon in New York.

Besides their attraction for addicted gamblers, such games supply an opportunity for the socially ambitious newly rich to mingle on equal terms with their social superiors.Serious gambling, like most other forms of socially disapproved -of-pleasures, tends to override class differences.

The only gambling game of pure luck which is widespread in Britain is bingo – and its Army equivalent, ‘housey-housey.’ Bingo players are predominantly middle-aged housewives, who traditionally have no knowledge of or interest in sport.Housey-housey is mostly played in wartime, when sporting events are suspended, or by troops in peacetime garrisons out of touch with daily sporting events and unable to contact professional bookmakers.

For British men in civilian life and increasingly, for British women, gambling is a technique for demonstrating their continued interest in and knowledge of ‘sport.’It is an important component in maintaining the national delusion that Britain (with Belgium, the most crowded country in the world) is predominantly rural.

The race course on the other side of the hedge, as seldom visited by its devoted as the lane itself, carries the same message, preserves the same delusion.Sporting events, together with the weather, television programs and for many men, gardening, also supply safe subjects of conversation for a nation tongue-tied with shyness.

‘Sports’ can spend easy conversational hours discussing yesterday’s and tomorrow’s runners or soccer matches without saying anything they will be sorry for later, without making personal remarks, getting emotionally involved or allowing an awkward silence to mar the conviviality of social life.A spot of gambling makes the whole world kin. Theoretically, it should be possible to maintain this interest in sport without gambling.
